Thousand who believes that he can be galvan-
lied into life again, but the senator hImsen
is the one man IN this instance. Singular as
it may seem, and as much astonishment as IL
will create, the fact is that he is going to
stand for reelection when his term ex-
pires. There are few people who will attach
much Importance to it. but as the senator
formally SHES his castor in the
ring the event is Of enough i'm
portance to deserve notice. For the past
two years there has been little or no mention
of Senator Sabin's name in the country
press. He has shown them no courtesies and
they have scrupulously avoided noticing
him.
The willy man from Saltwater has, however.
begun his work in very sly manner, and he
is feeling his way cautiously. But his de-
signs are clearly apparent and he cannot
cover up his tracks. Notices like those that
follow are beginning TO appear with surpris-
ing frequency in the country papers. People
without great deal of shrewdness can easily
interpret what object the senator has in view.
Read these beautiful little electioneering
lodges:
Senator D. NJ. Sabin has our thanks for copy
of the illustrated senatorial edition of the Ma
tional Tribune. 1t is very valuable paper to
have.
We are indebted to Hon. D. NJ Sabin for neat
edition of the Senatorial Journal in which is C IN
tanned elaborate description of his eminent
qualities. His portrait is of the handsome
works of the Journal.
The Hon. d. NJ. is pulling the string in this
way all over the state, but there are plenty of
men who will lay wagers that he is on wild
goose chase.

Chief Justice Jones, of Washington Terri
tory, formerly "Dick'' Jones, of Rochester,
this state) will be able to dispense justice
hereafter with added grace and dignity, and
his friends in Minnesota will wait with breath
less interest to hear the result of an innova-
ton which he will shortly introduce. 1t will
be no less a spectacle than the chief digntary
of the highest judicial tribunal in the terri
tory sitting in state on the raised platform in
the supreme courtroom in rocking chair
one of the old fashioned kind in which our
grandmothers used to rock themselves to
sleep in the chimney corner. When Jones
was living and practicing law at Rochester
before fame had wreathed itself about his
brownie had in his office an old rocking
chair, in which he was very fond of sitting.
He often made the remark that if he ever be-
came judge he would like to sit on the
bench in this chair and hear the cases that
came before him. When he hied himself
away toward the setting sun-with the under
standing that if he was faithful and patient
he would get judgeship-he left the chair
at Rochester, with many regrets. Since his
promotion to the supreme bench his Roches-
ter friends have often thought OF his express
sion about the chair, and recently they had it
fitted up in frst-class shape and sent it to
him by express. And now the people of the
Pacific coast will have an opportunity to see
how Minnesota man can dispense justice
from a Minnesota rocking chair.

Hon. 4. H. Baker, of Norman county, is
still on the rack. He hasn't got through yet
explaining to his constituents about certain
legislative matters on which he voted, and it
looks now as if he will have to put in thu
whole summer in the same line of business.
This is too bad, because Mr.. Baker was q
faithful and conscientious member and I'M
doubtedly tried to do his duty. He was
spared the vexation and expense of hiring q
hall and delivering an address to a mass
meeting of citizens, but he has been kept
busy almost constantly writing cards, ITO
the Public" through the newspapers. His
principal task is to explain why he voted fol
| the Williams bill in preference to the DON
| nelly bill. There is a current belief that
| Hon. Charles Canning is standing at the
| furnace, with his sleeves rolled up, shcveling
| in coal with both hands, and making des-
perate effort to keep the fire red-hot.
